A303 Sparkford to Ilchester dualling scheme In this edition Newsletter – summer 2019 Project update Scheme timeline Ecology surveys Highways England motorway campaign Corridor update Welcome to the A303 Sparkford to Ilchester dualling scheme newsletter. This provides a project update, information about ongoing work and detail about the A303/A358 corridor. Project update Since we last provided an update in the winter 2018 newsletter, the A303 Sparkford to Ilchester dualling scheme has been progressing through the Examination period of the Development Consent Order (DCO) process. This is the planning process required for the scheme, where the DCO application must be approved before the scheme construction can commence. On 12 June 2019 the DCO Examination for the A303 Sparkford to Ilchester dualling scheme closed. The next step in the DCO process will be for the Planning Inspectorate to write a report about the Examination for the Secretary of State for Transport. This report will include a recommendation on whether to refuse or grant the DCO. The report from the Planning Inspectorate will be issued to the Secretary of State for Transport by the end of September 2019. A three-month period will then commence enabling the Secretary of State to decide whether to grant or refuse the DCO. This means a decision should be announced by the end of 2019. The decision will be published alongside the Planning Inspectorate report on the National Infrastructure Planning website. If you would like any more information on the DCO process the project is going through please visit the National Infrastructure Planning website 1 Scheme timeline The timeline below shows the key milestones for the project and the next steps for the scheme now the Examination has closed.

  • North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment on Behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council August 2020
    North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment on behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council August 2020 kim sankey │ architect angel architecture │ design │ interiors Angel Architecture Ltd Registered in England at Unit 4, Herringston Barn, Herringston, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 9PU _____________________________________________________________________ North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment August 2020 NORTH CADBURY Key Features The special interest of North Cadbury lies in its origins as a rural estate village (formerly Cadbury Estate) of mixed farmland demarked by ancient enclosed hedgerows with some C17 and C18 modification. On the edges are C19 historic orchards, bounded by mature hedgerows, and several farmsteads. The orchards are a particularly strong landscape feature in terms of social history and culture as they represented an intensively productive use of land, providing cider for the labouring classes while also allowing the grazing of sheep and poultry. There are many listed buildings but most prominent are the Church and Cadbury Court at the historic core around which development is concentrated. The southern edge of the Conservation Area is characterised by the parkland setting of the Court. Under the ownership of Sir Archibald & Lady Langman the estate introduced scientific methods of farming in the 1930’s. The Langman’s prosperity, as a result of this innovation, is evident in the provision of the new village hall opposite Glebe House on Woolston Road. Although most of the other farms have been converted to residential use, Manor Farm remains the manufacturing base for renowned Montgomery Cheddar and Ogleshield cheeses. The River Cam, which rises in Yarlington, runs along the western edge of North Cadbury and through Brookhampton.

  • Dear Secretary of State for Transport, A303 CONSULTATION
    From: To: A303 Sparkford to Ilchester Cc: [email protected] Subject: A303 Consultation Ilchester to Sparkford Date: 01 September 2020 20:25:34 Dear Secretary of State for Transport, A303 CONSULTATION – ILCHESTER/PODIMORE TO SPARKFORD We live in the village of West Camel immediately south of the section under consideration for upgrade. Having lived in the village for over 30 years we have been involved in previous consultations and do appreciate all the complexities. The initial advice given locally for this consultation was that as Option 2 appeared to be such an obvious choice that is was – “a no brainer” because: It is cheaper, quicker to build and safer as requires little in the way of entrance and exits…..so why would anyone looking at the options choose Option 1 ? Unfortunately the consultation process allowed for votes worldwide and it appeared a successful Facebook campaign from the smaller community north of the A303 called in votes from as far away as Australia to “Save our Vale”, not realising that almost as much ‘new land’ would be carved up to dual along the (broadly) existing route for Option 1 but causing abject misery and chaos for the whole build, particularly past the new primary school in Queen Camel, which Highways England didn’t initially know had been recently built. Option 1 appears to be the only section of the A303 not bypassing local communities. Ilminster, Wincanton, Sparkford and Mere to name just a few. Over time we have raised a number of concerns about process with those running the consultation –it appears that the planners can flex the area they consider as ‘local’ and in this case, they chose to flex the local boundary to as far away as 7 miles from the planned route.

The forthcoming South Somerset Local Development Framework (LDF) will be required to allocate new development sites for both housing and employment for the period 2006-2026, with the focus of major growth placed upon Yeovil, thereafter the district’s major towns and rural centres. As part of the process of finding suitable sites for development, a landscape study to assess the capacity of the settlement fringe to accommodate new development in a landscape-sympathetic manner, is commissioned. This will complement other evidence-based work that will contribute to the LDF process. 1.2 PPS 7 commends the approach to the identification of countryside character developed by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England) and suggests that it can assist in accommodating necessary change due to development without sacrifice of local character and distinctiveness.
